Lord Ayyappa badly fussed between Politics and Judiciary. What’s the solution for Sabarimala?

Neethu Reghukumar | News18 | Thiruvanathapuram | Oct 26, 2018:: The Kerala High Court came down heavily on the Pinarayi Vijayan administration on Friday for the thousands of arrests it has made in connection with the Sabarimala protests, asking it not to play to the gallery.

Warning that the government would have to pay a heavy price if any innocents are arrested, a division bench of Justices PR Ramachandra Menon and Devan Ramachandran said arrests should only be made once the involvement of a person in violent protests has been confirmed in proper investigation.

Kerala Police has so far arrested 2,061 people on the charges of participating in violent protests last week against the entry of women into Sabarimala shrine despite a Supreme Court order.

Suresh Kumar and Anoj Kumar of the Sabarimala Achara Samrakshana Samithi had approached the high court, alleging that unlawful arrests were being made by police.

Their petition alleged that even those who were part of peaceful protests were being targeted and harassed, further stating that in some cases police was taking the devotees into custody and manufacturing charges afterwards.

Hailing from Pathanamthitta where the hill shrine is located, the two petitioners told the court that even devotees who participated in the “Nama Japa Yajnam” (chanting of Ayyappa mantras) were harassed by police. Police reportedly told them that they were liable to be prosecuted for committing various offences, of which they are totally ignorant, they alleged.

The court has also urged to probe whether only devotees had reached Sabarimala. It posted the case for further hearing on Monday.

The Supreme Court had in September allowed women of menstruating age to enter the hill shrine, lifting an age-old ban, but the protesters had not allowed a single woman to enter when it opened for six days. Over a dozen women had made the attempt, but they were forced to turn back after being heckled.

Cracking down on the violation of the top court’s writ, the Kerala Police has launched a massive manhunt to nab all the accused, registering over 450 cases so far. Of the 2,061 arrested, 1,500 have been granted bail. Most of those who have been arrested belong to Hindutva outfits, officials said.

The bench also directed the government not to appoint non-Hindus as Devaswom Commissioners. The court gave the direction while disposing of a plea filed by Kerala BJP president P S Sreedharan Pillai, challenging the amendments to the Travancore-Cochin Hindu Religious Institutions Act, 1950, which allow appointment of non-Hindus as Devaswom Commissioners.

The state government has submitted only Hindus would be appointed Commissioners of the Travancore Devaswom Board and the Cochin Devaswom Board.

BJP is standing like a rock with Ayyappa devotees: Amit Shah.

TNIE Online Desk | Kannur | Oct 27, 2018::BJP national president Amit Shah on Saturday hit out at the ruling Left government over the arrest of over 2000 ‘BJP, RSS workers’ who were protesting the entry of women into Sabarimala temple.

“BJP will stand firm with the devotees of Lord Ayyappa,” Shah said.

Referring to Sabarimala Verdict, Amit Shah said that courts should desist from passing orders that cannot be implemented. He was speaking at the inauguration of the BJP district committee office at Thalikkavu.

The BJP chief said, “Today in Kerala a struggle is going on between religious beliefs and state government’s cruelty. More than 2000 activists and workers from BJP, RSS and other organisations have been arrested. BJP is standing like a rock with devotees, Left government be warned. In the name of court judgment, those who want to incite violence let me tell you that there are many temples which run on different rules and norms.”

He went on to claim that BJP won’t hesitate to pull down the LDF government.

“Gender equality cannot be achieved through temple entry. An emergency-like situation exists in Kerala. Suppressing Ayyappa devotees is like playing with fire,” warned Amit Shah.

Prior to the arrival of Amit Shah, the security arrangements were been beefed up in Kannur.

Lord Ayyappa is fussed between Politics and Judiciary. What’s the solution for Sabarimala?

Upananda Brahmachari | HENB | Haridwar | Oct 27, 2018:: The Ayyappa devotees all over the world have come to a decision to reject the unconvincing and ill-conceived Sabarimala verdict of Indian Supreme Court.

The Ayyappa devotees are not protesting in Kerala, Andhra, Tamil Nadu or Maharashtra to keep their traditions intact, there were protest held in Malaysia, Indonesia, West Indies, United Kingdom, Australia, Hong Kong. Now, the Hindus in USA are organizing the same protest against the Sabarimala verdict of Indian Supreme Court.

The Global Hindus and Swami Ayyappa devotees organize Save Sabarimala Rallies at New York Indian Consulate and Chicago on Saturday (10/27) 10AM (local time) as below.

But the Indian Judiciary are undermining the Hindu protests and the Political parties are playing with the Hindu sentiments for their own gain.

Hindus are seeing the supremacy and suppression of Supreme court over their faith and belief. Ayodhya Ram Temple, Supreme Court will give decision. Sabarimala matter, Supreme Court will break the Hindu Tradition. Temples captured by Govt, again Supreme Court will direct. What’s this hell on Hindus to become controlled by some Dharma ignorant and Secular people sitting on the judgement seats?

The political parties (including BJP), their affiliates or mother orgs of India have also been exploiting the Hindus in many ways.

From Ayodhya to Sabarimala. RSS-VHP-BJP also do Mandir politics. Now BJP Party President Amit Shah is saying: “BJP is standing like a rock with Ayyappa devotees”+. But, his party colleagues like Dr Subramanian Swamy and Maneka Gandhi are openly supporting the Sabarimala verdict of SC. The Congress is also divided on Sabarimala issue.

RSS-VHP-BJP think-tanks are calculating next term of Narendra Modi in PM seat through building an Hindu agitation and Hindu feelings of insecurity. But, that may come as boomerang. Think about the division of Hindu votes as Dr Togadia formed AHP and announced his Hindu Political Party.

For a glorious come back in 2019, BJP needs the blessing of Lord Ram, Lord Ayyappa, Gau Mata and the Deities in the temples controlled by Govt Boards. With the curse of Lord Ram, Lor Ayyappa, Gau Mata and Temple Deities, BJP can’t survive anyway. BJP should not forget that Dharma-Sanskruti-Parampara are the basics of Development. In the name of development, Dharma can’t be ignored anyway.

So, ordinances for Ayodhya, Sabarimala, Cow slaughter and Temple boards are the solution for the survival of BJP and Hindu Bharat for next 1000 years.
